Imo - best case scenario - he goes to Hite. They wouldn't be uber-imba like say SKT, KTF or CJ, yet they'd become a power on par with (or close to) SKT. It would be fun to watch.

One of my fav progamers retires.

Health comes first, but it's still sad. Best of luck to you GGPlay and I hope after your military servise you take a shot at sc2.

For some reason I am extremely excited to see the next batch of KESPA maps and what it will change in progaming. Specially when combined with possible team switches.

JD should do this Boxer style and just make his own team. Let the stars come to him and his greatness. He could play the first few seasons by himself and still make finals. (Weve seen it)

I just did a currency conversation and 180 million won is about 145,000 US dollars. Not unreasonable at all for Jaedong to demand at LEAST that when you consider that KT is paying flash more than 200 thousand according to a fairly recent interview. If jaedong was on a richer team you know hed be making a LOT more than he does now without the need for any demands.

Go jaedong, get paid playa.

lol no kidding ... even he only manages to pull some half-ass B-teamers it will still be good enough, not like he's new to single-handedly lifting up the whole team anyway ...

I'm in dilemma

I don't want SKT to buy JD. Not because I hate SKT, but because SKT won proleague with ease with the worst Zerg Line to ever exist in history of SC.

I would love for JD to come to KT, not because Flash needs a good zerg partner (Luxury is stll great in practice) but rather because Flash/JD Child Labor players need a nice little break.

But as an oldschool KT fan, I know. I know that JD has broken numerous curses and I know JD is undoubtedly the #1 player at this moment.

But the KT curse has never been broken, and even if JD has a chance to prove himself I really don't want to see him go through the process of defeating another curse. Sure he has a great chance of breaking the curse, but what if he doesn't? I love Flash/JD, but I love KTF even more, and if there is even a slim chance of the KT team destroying one of my favorite zergs I'd rather have him not come and let him go to a different team.

Sure if the KT Zerg line revived to the olden days (Chojja/Yellow -> Luxury/JD) I would be happy as a banana. But if the KT curse happens to be in effect and destroys the career of a zerg I love watching... I'd rather have JD go to MBCgame heroes or Wemade.

KT curse? A silly superstition within statistical bounds I say. Chojja tanked indeed, but he's only one case. We don't know whether he was already jaded and just looking for a paycheck, or something more devious rekrul could inform us of. Yellow actually performed rather well after his KTF move, and we could say his future decline was a personal matter rather than a result of his move. Nal_ra moved and was their invincible ace in proleague, before a later decline which could be attributed to something else? In any case, there's nothing that directly implicates a move to KTF with a decline in skill,

I'm just really worried because this generation's KTF buys really did suck (beside Lux... okay his Allkill -> MSL Streak)

He won the fucking MSL. Yes Jangbi sucked. But he won a major singles title, which is a big deal. In terms of going to KTF and immediately tanking as if you took the money and ran, all I can think of is ForGG. Sync and Chojja at least played at a mediocre level before they decided to play terribly. And Oops~lee was terrible before he joined, he doesn't count.

ForGG also sucked before he went to KTF though

Uhh excuse me I don't get your post.

were you referring to my post or the OP or the way the thread was going?

He probably wrote that referring to GGplay retiring/going to the military because of carpal tunnel syndrome

140,000 Base salary for the Dong, how much of an insult that is from Hwaseung? Jaedong's a good kid, we can pretty much tell that he's attached to all of his team mates in the house, but seriously if he had stayed in that team, he would've regretted it in his latter years.

140,000,000 won really is an insult and trust me, it's not only us thinking so. Korean netizens are fucking shocked and in disbelief too. If anything, MINIMUM should at least be 180 if not 200+. IMO, I think that man at least deserves 250+, but that's just how I think and I ain't the one to judge how much he will receive. :p

edit: and LOL at the pic above me. Hahaha, where did you manage to find that ghostwriter? Did you photoedit it or something? ^_^

And Bisu want's him

If you had to select one Zerg and Terran player to be teammates with, who would you choose?
▲ Bisu: For Zerg, I would pick Jaedong. Terran..hmm..maybe Sea? I personally think he is the best Terran right now.

It is destined.

I was thinking Jaedong would go to MBC, even though they probably can't afford him, but it is a team that he would like to go to.

Taken from 30 Q's and 30 Answers Interview by FOMOS last year.

Is there someone that you would like to be in the same team with?

Jaedong - MBC Hero’s JaeHoon, he is a good friend of mine and I think it’d be fun to be on the same team.

140,000,000 Won is equivalent to about 115,000 Dollars (base salary a year). Majority of the Korean netizens are saying he deserves at least 180,000,000+ Won which is about 145,000+ Dollars. I say, he deserves at least 200k a year. Nada in his prime made 300,000,000 won so why shouldn't Jaedong deserve similar pay or lil less than that? We'll have to wait and see who the highest bidder is and how much they're going to pay him. $$$
